Chapter 88 The Mystery of the Black Cat
"Oh?" Yun Sheng raised his eyebrows: "What is it?"
Lin Shuning whispered a few words to him, Yun Sheng looked deep in his eyes and nodded: "It is indeed worth a try, my sister is really smart."
Lin Shuning smiled and said, "Brother, you are too kind. I will go and prepare now."
After saying this, she stood up and returned to her own room, her mind slightly moved.
After a while, Xiao Bai said in a surprised tone: "What, you want me to transform into a cat in heat to attract the cat that scratched Madam Yun?"
"That's right," Lin Shuning nodded. "Although it may not work, you can give it a try. If the cat really comes and its owner comes looking for it, it will save you a lot of trouble. If the owner doesn't come, you can go back with it and I will come find you. This way, we can know who is behind this."
"Well, since you've been working hard to earn money to help me upgrade, I'll do you this favor."
After Xiaobai finished speaking, he transformed into a snow-white chinchilla with a bell tied around its neck. He jumped out of the window and ran into the flowers while meowing.
Not long after, with Xiaobai's unremitting "calling", a pure black cat really appeared on the top of the wall.
"Miss Third, sir, I remember it very clearly, it's this cat!" Duo'er, who was hiding in the dark with Lin Shuning and Yun Sheng, pointed at the black cat and said with certainty.
Lin Shuning and Yun Sheng looked at each other. Neither of them said anything, but smiled at each other.
The big cat took the bait.
Several people concentrated and observed carefully for a while, and seeing that no other people showed up, Lin Shuning had an idea, and Xiaobai meowed, ready to follow the black cat back as planned.
At this moment, a child suddenly jumped out from the bushes on the other side and kicked the black cat in the stomach: "You have caused such a big disaster, and you still dare to run around. I will beat you to death today!"
As he said this, he swung the stick in his hand and hit the black cat.
The black cat was so frightened that its fur stood up. It didn't care about Xiaobai's transformation into a beautiful cat and jumped out like lightning. As luck would have it, the direction it ran in was exactly where Lin Shuning and the others were.
Yun Sheng was quick-witted and caught the black cat.
Lin Shuning said quickly: "Be careful, grab it by the back of the neck and it won't struggle."
When the child heard the sound, he stood there in a daze for a moment, then dropped the stick in his hand and ran back for his life.
Yun Sheng had already recognized who he was through his silhouette and shouted coldly, "Er Gou!"
Hearing the sound, Ergou really stopped. He turned around awkwardly and waved his hand, saying, "Sir, this black cat has nothing to do with me. I really don't raise it. I just found it and thought it hurt Madam, so I wanted to catch it and avenge Madam!"
"Really?" Yun Sheng sneered: "Then you saw me, why did you run away, what are you afraid of?"
“I…I…” Ergou’s eyes wandered around and he stammered for a long time without being able to make any clear words.
"Come here, send someone to check Ergou and his parents to see if this cat is actually theirs."
Yun Sheng's face turned pale and he spoke in a cold voice.
Ergou's face changed, and he knelt on the ground with a plop: "My Lord, this matter has nothing to do with my parents. I raised this cat myself, and they don't know!"
As he spoke, he knocked his head to the ground again and again, and soon blood-red spots appeared on his forehead.
Lin Shuning frowned. This child looked plain and simple, and he really didn't look like someone who could think of using a black cat to murder Wei Xi. "Where did you get this black cat? Why doesn't anyone in the mansion know that you have a cat? Even if you hide it well, it's impossible for it to be so airtight even if we live under the same roof."
Ergou swallowed his saliva and said, "I picked up this cat at the door the other day, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce and hurt my wife. I was afraid and kept it a secret. No one else knew about it, not even my parents.
Sir, please give me another chance and don’t drive me out of the house. Even if you have to drive me out, just drive me out alone, not my parents.”
Just as he finished speaking, an elderly couple ran in from the backyard.
Seeing the scene in front of him, he understood most of it. The hunchbacked man slapped Ergou in the face and said, "You rebellious son, why did you pick up a black cat and raise it? Do you know that you have caused a big disaster?"
"Dad! I know I was wrong!"
Ergou covered his face, tears welled up in his eyes, and his body trembled.
Looking at the family of three in front of her, Lin Shuning frowned. She never thought that the mastermind behind this was just a child and an old working couple. From their words and deeds, it can be seen that they are simple in nature, and their subconscious reactions do not seem to be lies.
Could it be that someone deliberately released the black cat into the mansion to lure the servants into taking the bait?
Thinking of this, Lin Shuning took out a silver needle and stabbed it into the black cat's body. When the silver needle was pulled out again, her eyes deepened.
She raised her eyes and looked at Yun Sheng: "Brother, is the dress that sister-in-law wore that day still there? Can I take a look?"
Yun Sheng nodded and immediately asked Duo'er to bring the dress over.
Lin Shuning took the dress and examined it carefully, a faint light flashed in her eyes, and she put it to her nose and sniffed it.
“Sure enough…” She murmured, looking up at Yun Sheng: “I just checked the black cat’s body and found that it was smeared with orange red.
This medicine itself is not harmful, but it has already penetrated into the black cat's skin. Once it blends with the Evian scent on my sister-in-law's body, it will produce a citrus-like smell that drives the cat crazy, so the black cat will have a stress reaction and suddenly attack my sister-in-law. "
"Evian..." Yun Sheng's eyes darkened: "This is the fragrance that Madam has been using since she was a child..."
The person who knew the spices that Wei Xi had been using since childhood and wanted to use this spice to kill people without anyone noticing must be someone who knows Wei Xi and the entire General's Mansion very well.
In addition, the time when the black cat appeared was so close to the last blood-activating and abortion-stabilizing drug incident...
Yun Sheng and Lin Shuning looked at each other and thought of the same person in their hearts - Longyue.
Presumably, in addition to adding the blood-activating bark of Albizzia julibrissin to the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine, Longyue also told the person behind her all the major and minor matters that had occurred in the General's Mansion so far, leaving out every detail.
Yun Sheng's heart turned cold, and his brows became even darker. It seemed that he not only needed to thoroughly investigate all the personnel in the general's mansion, but also had to replace everything around Wei Xi one by one.
He turned his head and looked at Ergou's family, who were hugging each other and crying. He felt a little sorry: "Sister, the three of Ergou are the elders in the mansion..."
Lin Shuning pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, these two dogs have made a big mistake after all. I think you should find another job for them and not let them work in the mansion for the time being."
Only by "punishing" Ergou and the others will the person behind Longyue not take action against them.
Yun Sheng understood and nodded, saying, "This is the only way to do it now."
He gave a look to the butler beside him, and the butler immediately understood.
Lin Shuning straightened her dress and said, "In that case, I still have things to do, so I'll go back first. Brother, if there's anything wrong with my sister-in-law, please inform me in time. I'll come in person in a few days to check on my sister-in-law."
Now Wei Xi's physical condition has stabilized and the murderer behind the scenes has been found. Although the person behind the scenes is still in doubt, there is no rush. It is better to go to Liufangtang first. She hasn't been there for a long time.
"Okay, then I'll see you off." Yun Sheng said as he prepared to leave.
Lin Shuning stopped him and said, "Brother, you should deal with the affairs in the mansion first. I can walk back by myself. I'll just take it as exercise and take a walk."
Seeing that she was so persistent, Yun Sheng did not force her.
After the two said goodbye, Lin Shuning came to Liufang Hall.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw a long line in front of Liufangtang, and even she had a hard time squeezing in.
Now, because the reputation and effects of the miracle drugs are so eye-catching, many people are rushing to buy them with the idea of being prepared, and there are even vendors reselling these miracle drugs on the streets.
Lin Shuning smiled and thought, it’s time to change the batch of medicine.
Recently, she had just refined a lot of pills using the newly upgraded prescriptions in the "Xuanyuan Emperor's Scripture". She took out Qi-replenishing pills, weight-loss pills, throat-soothing pills, and stomach-nourishing pills, and like before, she lowered the prices of the previous pills and then raised the prices of the newly sold pills.
As soon as the news came out, all the resellers and buyers who were stockpiling goods burst into tears.
The crowd instantly became agitated, and Lin Shuning quietly whispered a few words to Liuzi.
Liuzi immediately understood and shouted, "Everyone, this is a clinic. A clinic is a place to treat patients and save lives, so the magic medicine we sell is only sold to people who are in urgent need. If it is not the above two situations, buying in large quantities and reselling it may be a loss at any time! So don't hoard medicine! From today on, each person is limited to buying three bottles of the same medicine at a time."
"Boss, you did a great job. Give me a bottle of this Qi-boosting pill so I can experience its effect! Those black-hearted resellers bought it from you for 100 taels and sold it for 200 taels. It really pissed me off!"
"And me, and me, I want the Qingxin Pills from before, and the new Yangwei Pills!"
"..."
With everyone talking at once, business instantly became booming.
Looking at this lively scene, Lin Shuning couldn't help but start wondering whether he should put the matter of opening a chain store on the agenda.
The dim setting sun sets and the dark moon rises.
The moon tonight seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and it was blurry and unclear. The streets, paths, trees, and buildings were all hazily shrouded in a gray, flowing fog.
Lin Shuning left Liufang Hall and slowly walked towards the Shangshu Mansion.
She was traveling alone today, without Lian'er by her side, but she was not afraid. Not to mention that she had a poison needle in her hand, what's more, she was always protected by Jiang Yu's secret guards, so ordinary thieves could not get close to her at all.
At this moment, there seemed to be mist in the air, floating slowly like a black ribbon.
There was a sound of breaking branches, and the night birds were startled and flew away, screaming. The sound of flapping wings cut through the darkness. The lights flickered, and Lin Shuning's eyes, as clear as autumn water, flickered even more in the darkness.
The sound of breaking was obviously caused by someone stepping on it.
